Why does this Tuesday hate me my wallet?
Oh, I want them. But I pay rent this week. Money conflict! Damn, damn, DAMN!
Okay, I'm buying AD3 no matter what. I've been waiting for it to come out on DVD since I finished Season 2, and I will have it in my sweaty little hands come 6pm the day after tomorrow. I actually put aside money for it. Seriously, since when have I ever planned my financial solvency that well? (Answer: 5th grade, when I worked for my parents all summer to earn Mega Man 4 for the NES.)
The Tick...man, I'm going to get it, and my financial woes be damned. I can just survive on the food I already have, right? Crackers, three cans of soup, two loaves of bread and some Gatorade? Sheesh, it's like a feast! Success! 'The Tick' it is!
And yes, I already own Diablo 2, but only as a burned CD copy from Tony. So I don't have a CD-key. So I can't play it online. ...Wait. Does anybody play it online any more?
Well, regardless, the game is possibly the best PC game I have ever played. The Monkey Island series comes close, but those ones are only really replayable every three years or so, whereas Diablo 2 is as addictive now as the first time I clubbed a zombie in Fall 2000. So I feel like Blizzard deserves my money. Maybe not 20 bucks of my money, since I am an Eagle Scout, and thus am thrifty. But 8 bucks? Yeah, I can do that.
Damn you, this Tuesday! You've beaten me! The justification center of my brain is on your side! Damn you and your marvelous box sets!
And as for you, Best Buy... well, let's just say I'll never again feel guilty about coming to your day-after-Thanksgiving Sale and using Best Buy Bucks from McDonald's Monopoly.
